Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the 400th anniversary of Sir Francis Drake's circumnavigation of the world. The coin's reverse side depicts a map of the world with Drake's route marked on it, along with a portrait of Drake and his ship, the Golden Hind. This design is not only visually striking but also historically significant, making the coin a valuable collector's item for anyone interested in maritime history or numismatics.
